A bunch of clear and chaotic footsteps stretched all the way to one side of the courtyard wall, and Li Xuan was standing in front of the courtyard wall at the moment.

Come to dedication, come to Sui, Hu Yu and the others all looked at the wall in front of them with ugly faces.

Behind the crowd, Ku Cao joined the army and reported softly: "According to statistics, a total of 8,000 copper coins have been stolen, and all the salaries and salaries for two months are gone."

"It's only eight thousand." Lai Jingye and Lai Sui's faces relaxed a little.

Although this money is a lot, it can still be taken out when you come home.

"Fortunately, all the coins on it are copper coins, if they are replaced with silver, I am afraid that what will be taken away should be eight thousand taels of silver." Li Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Nowadays, although the imperial court does not use gold and silver as the main currency, copper coins, silk, and grain can be used as daily transactions, and even distributed as money.

In the prosperous land of Hangzhou, all copper coins have been used as tax transactions, but all the tax silver handed over to the household department is in silver.

"The copper coins are very heavy, and they can't run far with them." Lai Jingye clenched his fists tightly and said hatefully, "Even if you leave, you have to leave traces."

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, looking at the courtyard wall in front of him, and the footsteps of Wen Xu and his party disappeared completely when they arrived here.

The courtyard wall of the Assassin's Mansion was as high as a zhang, and everyone subconsciously looked up at the top of the wall.

It's just that I don't know why, there is no trace of climbing on this courtyard wall.

"They used ropes to hang the boxes out?" Lai Sui subconsciously asked.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and then saw that he directly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the courtyard wall, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, his strength suddenly increased.

With a "boom", the courtyard wall in front of him suddenly collapsed, and a piece was directly empty in the middle.

The people around subconsciously retreated, and at the same time looked at the collapsed wall in front of them with stunned faces, empty, this ......

"This is a false wall, the best method of the Tianyin Sect." Li Xuan turned around, looked at Lai Jingye and the others, and said softly, "Uncle Shi, they should have stolen the silver through here."

Lai Jingye's face was very ugly, he turned to look at Changshi Hu Yu, and said in a deep voice, "Check, check the entire Thorn Shi Mansion."

"Whoa!" Hu Yu didn't hesitate at all, and immediately turned away.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, nodded at Hu Yu, and then turned around and entered the hole in the wall.

What appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes was a dim and narrow alley.

On one side of the alley is the backyard of the Thorn Mansion, and on the other side, there is the backyard of another mansion.

The courtyard is two meters high, and there is a small gate not far ahead.

There is no back door in the Thorn Mansion for safety, but this mansion has a backyard.

Usually all kinds of vehicles that pull manure and the like walk here, and there are two deep ruts on the ground.

"Go, chase!" When he saw these two ruts, he immediately wanted to catch up with many messengers, but at this time, he found that everyone did not move, and they were all looking at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan stood in place, looking at the mansion opposite, frowning slightly, as if there was some difficult mystery to solve.

"Twenty-seven, what are you looking at?" Lai Sui waved his hand at the group of servants, and then came behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan pointed to the small door of the mansion not far away, and said softly, "It's normal to say that it's placed at other times, but with this fake wall, everything seems very wrong.

"What's wrong?" Lai Sui subconsciously asked.

Li Xuan pointed to the false wall on the side and said softly, "Yuan Dudu is an extremely cautious person, he has rarely gone out when he was assassinating the Shi Mansion, so what kind of person can do such a trick under the nose of a shrewd person like him without being discovered?"

"Neighbors?" Lai Jingye immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words, raised his head and stared at the opposite mansion.

Li Xuan nodded and continued: "Although Dongxing Fang is where the Thorn Mansion is located, it still closes the door every day, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter and exit

Because of the darkness of the night, there will be loopholes, especially in the middle of the night."

Li Xuan's words were not explained, but everyone's minds still had a scene of someone quietly chiseling on the backyard wall of the Assassin's Mansion in the dead of night, and finally directly chiseled out a fake wall.

Lai Jingye immediately turned to the side and said in a cold voice, "Xu Zhutou, go knock on the door!"

"Whoa!" Xu Zhutou immediately led his men to the door of the backyard of the mansion, and a thick iron lock was locked on the backyard door.

Knock on the door, Lord Thorn Shi said that knocking is polite, do they use knocking?

The most important thing is that in the eyes of these fast catchers, they don't remember that the owner of this mansion is a great person.

With a "bang", the long knife slashed the door lock, and the next moment, the door lock was directly cut open.

Xu Zhutou was about to kick the door open directly, but at this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

A fifty-year-old, stocky housekeeper with a black hat on his head, a stubby beard, and a gray robe appeared in front of the door, looked at Xu Zhutou who raised his foot in front of him and was about to kick the door, and said unceremoniously: "What are you, what do you want to do, do you know what kind of place this is, you dare to come here."

Xu Zhutou looked at the housekeeper in front of him, and there was a sneer in front of him, he took a step forward unceremoniously, and while rushing in, he shouted loudly: "The state capital catches the head, investigate the reverse case......

"The state capital catches heads?" The housekeeper took a step forward, one hand pressed directly on the threshold on one side, and the strong arm and Xu Zhutou's chest collided fiercely, and the next moment, surprisingly, Xu Zhutou was directly hit by this and took several steps back.

The housekeeper blocked the door again, frowning Li Xuan and Lai Jingye and the others.

In the end, he looked at the people outside the door vigilantly, and said coldly: "Old slave, no matter who you are, what case you want to come in to investigate, no matter what you do, you have to wait for my master to come back."

"Who is your master?" Xu Zhutou rubbed his chest, held the handle of the knife, and stared at the housekeeper

"Aren't you the head of the state government, why don't you even know who the master of my family is?" The housekeeper sneered, then raised his head and said proudly: "My master is the nephew of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the Hangzhou Assassin Mansion Fa Cao joined the army, yes, he is the Shangguan of your waiting."

Xue Zhongzhang, at this moment, not only Xu Zhutou and many of the catchers present were stunned, but even Li Xuan and Lai Jingye were stunned.

This is actually Xue Zhongzhang's residence, hasn't he only been in Hangzhou for a few days, why did he buy such a house so quickly.

Lai Jingye turned his head to look at Xu Zhutou, and waved his hand vigorously, Xu Zhutou immediately led someone directly forward, and was about to rush in.

"What are you doing?" The butler grabbed it from inside the door, and grabbed a long knife directly, and at the same time looked at the people outside the door with a vigilant face, and shouted unceremoniously: "This is the residence where your Fa Cao joined the army, and he is still the nephew of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, are you crazy?"

Hu Yu was about to step forward immediately, but at this time, Li Xuan grabbed Hu Yu, looked at Lai Lai and said, "Uncle, no matter what, we always have to take care of Pei Shangshu's face, after all, we can't just give Pei Shangshu's nephew and our own colleagues a hat of rebellion, if there is really something, it will not be at this moment."

Lai Jingye nodded slightly and looked at Hu Yu on the side.

Hu Yu immediately understood, turned his head to look at the housekeeper, and shouted solemnly, "Why don't you hurry up and report your master, we can't wait long?"

The corners of the butler's mouth twitched slightly, but he raised his head and said, "You wait, I have already asked someone to inform my master."

Li Xuan frowned slightly, looked at the housekeeper and asked, "Your master won't be at home, right?"

Li Xuan said a word, and everyone present immediately looked at the housekeeper.

The butler took a half step back, the long knife in his hand was raised, a little uneasy, but he still said without concessions, "No matter whether my master is here or not, you can't come in."

Li Xuan turned to look at Changshi Hu Yu and asked in a low voice, "Hu Changshi, I haven't seen you all night tonight

Did Xue join the army?"

"Never." Hu Yu shook his head, and after a little thought, he said: "Xue Senjun was not informed of tonight's incident, and after Xia Guan was on duty yesterday, he saw Xue Senjun and Guan Senjun go out together, and no one knows where they went?"

Li Xuan nodded, then looked at Cheng Jing and said, "Xue joins the army and probably won't be able to come back tonight."

"So!" Lai Jingye's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Uncle Shi, there's no need." Li Xuan hurriedly grabbed and dedicated.

It can be seen that dedication wants to be strong, but people have moved out of Pei Yan's name today, Li Xuan and Lai Jingye don't care, but the others include Changshi Hu Yu, Xu Zhutou, and a group of fast catchers, and their expressions are already uneasy.

"Uncle Shi, we have no other way." Li Xuan nodded at Lai Jingye, then looked at the people in front of him and behind him, and shouted in a low voice, "Everyone spread out along the walls on both sides, and then hit the walls with the hilt of their knives."

"Do you mean there's a fake wall here, too?" Lai Jingye was the first to react, and the others were suddenly stunned.

Li Xuan glanced at the housekeeper at the door, nodded and said, "Actually, if it is said that Xue joined the army to collude with the King of the East China Sea, the little nephew will not believe it, after all, he has Pei Shangshu behind him, and the future will be even greater, unless there is something in the hands of the King of the East China Sea, otherwise, there is no need for him to take refuge in the King of the East China Sea, so it is most likely that he is kept in the dark."

"Well, that's good." Lai Jingye finally breathed a sigh of relief, Xue Zhongzhang was used in a daze, that was Xue Zhongzhang's business, and it had nothing to do with Pei Yan, Pei Yan was at most just an unknown person.

Lai Jingye gave a look, and the many errand servants present caught quickly, and immediately turned to the sides.

Listening to the sound of "bang, bang" in his ears, the butler stood at the door, trying to shout to prevent everyone from knocking, but he didn't know why he never spoke.

Li Xuan glanced sideways at the housekeeper, shook his head, lowered his body, and carefully looked at the ruts under his feet with the help of the torch.

"How?" Lai Sui asked with some curiosity.

"Although the ruts have new car marks, they are not deep, and even a little too shallow, maybe they are empty." As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he immediately understood: "They still want to confuse us, and the silver is still here."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and at this moment, a sound of "empty air" came clearly from the front.

For a moment, everyone present looked in that direction.
